and, noting that the 2011 jamboree was a world event in Sweden rather than the 2010 National...before I'd diss (where's the irony?) the current PotUS, I'd check on National Jamboree attendance of prior presidents. In the spirit of cheerful service!

Thank you @Steve for pointing out my mistake. It was in fact not the 2011 Jamboree he snubbed, it was the BSA's 100th anniversary celebration in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Additionally, this post is merely an effort to point out the Congressmen who are Eagle scouts. Females can not be Eagle Scouts, thus they were not included in my post. Had the post been about all scouting on Capitol Hill and not just Eagle Scouts in Congress, I might have included Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.) and Ellen O. Tauscher (D-Calif.). (I was not "dis"sing PotUS, merely pointing out the fact that he chose not to attend the event, in favor of taping an appearance of a television show in NY. The irony here is that the leader of the free world chose to attend a talk show taping over a celebration of a group geared toward raising strong young men.)

Anyone from Nordjamb'75?The Nordic countries have htseod the World Jamboree once before. As a Denmark-Finland-Iceland-Norway-Sweeden cooperation in Lillehammer, Norway in 1975.15 000 scouts from more than 100 countries participated. Pluss 3 000 nordic scouts (leaders, rangers, rovers, senior scouts) as hard-working-staff. Should we arrange an informal get-to-gether for Nordjamb staff members sometime during the 22WSJ in Rinkaby?Pls contact Bjf8rn Svensen at or call me at + 47 95 72 17 51. I was one of the two norwegians at the Camp Committee. If this idea has some support, I may set up a website and a chat arrangement for former Nordjambers.
